|
These programs are for those interested in an opportunity to learn and experience yoga in-depth. Students in these programs are for the most part interested in furthering their own knowledge of yoga. JJ has produced some of the most effective teachers in all the areas of the nation where her programs have run. Her graduates are by far more well-trained then other programs. She started her programs with the intention of producing innovative teachers at the highest level.
These programs are for serious students of yoga only. Required entry is a 200hour RYT or equivalent from the Yoga Alliance. All programs are geared toward Yoga Therapy with the eventual goal assumed to be that serious students never stop their learning process and would therefore continue through the programs to the 1500hour level to be a Yoga Therapist.
